The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has described as a good thing President Muhammadu Buhari‘s declaration of his intention to run for a second term as president, The Cable reports.

In a statement released by the IPOB spokesperson Emma Powerful, he said Buhari’s “second coming” portends goodwill.

This is because they have always maintained that the secession of Biafra will come during Buhari’s reign, he said.

We have always maintained that the rebirth of Biafra will happen under Buhari or under whoever is answering to his name.

This second coming of Buhari portends goodwill for freedom lovers because God Almighty wants to fulfill his divine purpose in the life of Biafrans in 2019 as foretold by our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

No amount of tribulation will stop us from emerging victorious as a free people at the end of this process.

We urge our brethren in the Middle Belt and Western Nigeria not to give up or capitulate in this our collective quest to free our people from the shackles of caliphate domination and creeping Islamisation.

IPOB will not relent in its pursuit of total liberation. The continued existence of this disastrous APC government is our passport to freedom.
